      IRC Nickname: Zemus Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 2786 Member No.: 128 Joined: January 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 275    |  Also posted the guide on tipit, if anyone wants to comment on it there  http://forum.tip.it/topic/220209-armadyl-guide/ [ ¤ Table of Contents ¤ ]
• Gear Setups • Getting There • Armadyl's Eyrie • The Boss • FAQ Hello and welcome to my Armadyl Guide. I've been doing Armadyl since about a month after the Gwd update and Armadyl is easily my favourite boss in Runescape, to give you an idea of how much experience I have here: • I have made around 3B from armadyl drops, (approx 60 hilts and countless armour drops) • I have 45m range exp, a majority of the xp past 99 (32m) is from armadyl trips. • For a year I lead my Gwd clan specializing in armadyl with daily trips. I hope my guide helps you to make some cash and have some fun at armadyl. Requirements 60+ Strength or 60+ Agility 70+ Range Recommended Stats 85+ Range 70+ Def [ ¤ Gear Setups ¤ ] Having the right gear and inventory is essential in having a long lasting trip, however the perfect setup won't be the same for everyone, it depends on you (your stats as well as skill), and your team. It takes time, but just experiment with your inventory until you find what works for you, but here are some setups to get you started. ¤ Low Risk Solo ¤ ¤ Pro Solo ¤ ¤ Pro Duo ¤ ¤ Average Duo ¤ ¤ Pro Trio ¤ If you don't have this sort of gear, there is a table below showing all kinds of gear from best to worse. Here is a table showing some of the items i have used in these pics explaining them.  1: Enhanced Excalibur -- The enhanced excalibur is an excellent item for armadyl, dks, fight caves and much more. It's special heals you 200LP (goes up in increments of 40hp over 20seconds) as well as boosting your defence by 13. You need to complete Seers Diary 3 for this. 2: Bones to Peaches -- Because of the large amount of bones dropped in armadyl, bones to peaches definately comes in handy here. the amount of hp it saves you quickly builds up, and will save you a few brews. 3: Grenwall Spikes -- Grenwall spikes are used to make extreme ranging potions. If you and your partner have the requirements (92 herblore) to make them, it is recommended you bring some along for all the ranging pot drops you get, to make them into extremes. 4: Extreme Range Pots -- Self explanitory, boosts range. 5: Super Prayer Potions - At 99 prayer, super prayer potions recover 41 prayer in one dose, instead of the 31 from a regular potion. If you have the reqs for these and are planning a long trip, these will help you alot. 6: Unholy Book -- You will need a zamorak item while getting Kc to keep the zamorak npc's off you. I use the unholy book, because it also comes in handy when killing armadyls minions inside of the boss room, when kree is dead. As it gives +8 range bonus, and +5 prayer bonus, which in the long run will save you some supplies. ~ Gear Table ~ If you still aren't sure on what to bring, here is some gear that you can substitute from best to worst. Helm: Verac > Armadyl > Neitiznot > God Coif Chest: Armadyl > Karils > D'hide Skirt: Armadyl > Karils > D'hide Shield: Elysian/Spectral > Divine > Dragonfire > Arcane/Blessed Spirit > Dragon SQ >/Rune Note: Divine is better for soloing, and in some cases duoing. Other then that the prayer drain is just too much and i would even recommend a Dfs over divine, for Trio+) Boots: Rangers > Infinity > Snakeskin > Ring: Archers > Seers > Life Amulet: Fury > Glory > Stole Gloves: Barrows > Braces B.o.B Familiar: Pack Yak > Tortoise > Terrorbird > Bull Ant Healing Familiar: Unicorn > Fruit Bat > Titan > Bunyip * Bring an Armadyl and Zammy item, Zammy bracers or Zammy book works good. If you don't have an armadyl item, use armadyl pendant and take the best amulet you have in your inv for when you're inside the boss room. [ ¤ Getting There ¤ ]  Cyan Path:(recommended): Tele to Trollheim, then just climb down the mountain and follow the path to the God wars dungeon. Required: Eadgar’s Ruse Lime path: (only go this way if you haven't done Eadgar’s ruse): From the warriors guild, up to death plateu, follow the long road above, past the arena and trolls until you get to the God wars Dungeon. Required: Death Plateau, climbing boots. [ ¤ Armadyl's Eyrie ¤ ]  Points of Interest
There are 3 low level'd aviansies here all close-by (shown as yellow dots on my map above), as well as a Gorak and other zamorak followers which helps kill the aviansie.  2: Another good KC spot is just over the grapple-pillar, these are generally less populated then the other spot, however i find the other spot is quicker because of the assistance of the zamorak minions. 3: Grapple Box - If one of your team-mates forget their grapple, or you dropped yours and need to go back, there is a crate here where you can search to get a grapple from. (Note: you must not have a grapple in your invent or you won't get one, you'll have to drop it then search the crate if your getting one for a team mate) 4: Safe Area - Here is a safe spot where there are generally no armadyl or zamorak followers, if you don't have an item to stop them attacking you, you can hide over here until you're ready. Now you're finally ready to take on Kree'arra. Make your way to the boss room and organise which minion you are taking and make sure you stick to it, after the boss dies everyone attacks them individually instead of piling.  If you are duoing, one person get the range, and other mager. Attack them once to make them attack you, then pile the melee. When the melee is dead, continue killing your minion. When everyone is ready, activate protect from range and eagle eye, or for curses Leech Def/Range (Do NOT let your prayer drop when kree is alive, it hits upto 690 and accurate.) Keep your Hp above 400 at all times or theres a good chance you'll get KOed. Spread out so the melee minion has further to travel, dealing less damage. Try and spread so that you are standing next to your minion so you can attack it quickly. When Kree is almost dead, get a right-click on your minion, so you can attack it as fast as possible, before he does some damage to whoever gets piled at the end.  When they're all dead, stand in the spot below, then you will have time to quickly pray before kree spawns.  So yeah that's about it, if you have any questions feel free to post them. Good luck with the hilts. [ ¤ FAQ ¤ ] Q: Does ring of wealth work?

What about suggested inventories for beginners? I mean, you'd probably take more brews than normal if it's your first time so you don't die. Also, what is best to use as your Zamorak item? -------------------- | ||||

Its the hardest one, but I think I've been there four times, and gotten a ls item on three of em. One trip, I got around 1M, and another I was split in for a hilt  Its hard and annoying at times, but can be very profitable  EDIT: And great guide Zemus.

I know you've got the little list that shows what's better than other things, but an image is far easier to read and get information from. Definitely provide alternates whenever possible. -------------------- | ||||

Solo: Divine > Elysian > Spectral - Get hit alot solo, so divine definately. Duo: Divine/Elysian > Spectral - Both Divine and Ely are best for duo, you still get hit a bit but not a whole lot. Trio+: Elysian/Spectral > Divine - Trio+ you wont get hit much at all, so the divines pray drain make it pretty much useless. As there are more people for the melee minion to attack you won't get meleed as much and so you'll only be getting hit by mage, this is why spectral starts to get better here. I'd say Ely/Spectral are equally best here. -------------------- 24th to 2496 Overall ~ 29th to 120 Dungeoneering ~ Guardian since November 2007 ~ - I now play WoW lols - Server: US Jubei'Thos Faction: Horde 85 Blood-Elf Paladin 85 Troll Hunter | ||||
